MORE STITCHES
S
tart off by making a chain length –
try 26 chains. Then you can use one
of the methods below to start
working your triple treble stitches into the
foundation chain. One method might suit
you better, so try both.
Make sure you insert the hook under two
loops of the chain stitch (the top front loop
and the loop at the back of the chain). Some
patterns ask you to insert the hook under
just the top front loop of the chain, and you
can also use this method if your chain is abit tight. If it’s very tight, undo the chain
length and rework it using a larger hook.
Then switch back to the smaller hook.
Method 2 gives a more solid finish to your
fabric and maintains the plaited look of the
front of the chain, which looks neater.TRIPLE TREBLE
